Chapter 4: Scientific Investigations.. Freebie!

When we think about science, we usually think about the experiments like this:

Some of the best science that I have had with my kids this year has been through research though. My kiddos L-O-V-E-D learning about animals... so we integrated (love that word!) our science with our informational writing!

I brought in one of our schools' mobile lap top carts to research their choice of animal on Pebble Go. (Have you scene Pebble Go? You should totally get your schools to look into it! It's AH-mazing!)

My kids had a blast checking out their animals and using their learning to fill out their writing organizers. I have permission from my fellow coworker to share her awesome graphic organizer that we used for our entire informational writing unit!

I hope you enjoy! Remember to leave a comment on a post this week so that you are entered into our giveaway for two spots in an ecourse!
